What do you think the chances of a myocardial infarction (heart attack) happening after being envenomated is in a young male such as myself? I might end up getting rid of this guy. All of this stuff I'm reading is pretty scary.

Btw, I have "Mitral Valve Prolapse." I think that I fall into the category of "infirm" even though it feels like I'm growing out of it as time goes on. Haven't had any bad episodes in about two years.

Generally, MVP is a benign disorder. However, MVP patients with a murmur, not just an isolated click, have a general mortality rate that is increased by 15-20%

Thanks for the info but I didn't really get what you said. I'm not sure what a "benign disorder" is. The only time my heart acts up is usually when I bend down to pick something up and breathe the wrong way -- then it'll start beating hard and fast -- but I can usually get it under control within seconds. The last time I had an episode was roughly two-years-ago. I did what I just mentioned and it wouldn't stop. When that happens, I take meds to make me calm ... Sometimes so calm that I pass out.

I'm not sure what type of role this would play in a case of an envenomation by my de haani or LQs.
